can't get session after verify magic link token

React.useEffect(() => {
    const handleTokenVerification = async (token: string) => {
      const { error, data } = await verifyToken(token);

      if (data) {
        console.log({ data });

        // Force a fresh session check after successful verification
        const freshSession = await getSession();
        if (freshSession) {
          session.refetch();
        }
      } else if (error?.status === 0) {
        setError(true);
      }
    };

    if (token && !session.data && !session.isPending) {
      handleTokenVerification(token);
    }
  }, [token, session]);
React.useEffect(() => {
    const handleTokenVerification = async (token: string) => {
      const { error, data } = await verifyToken(token);

      if (data) {
        console.log({ data });

        // Force a fresh session check after successful verification
        const freshSession = await getSession();
        if (freshSession) {
          session.refetch();
        }
      } else if (error?.status === 0) {
        setError(true);
      }
    };

    if (token && !session.data && !session.isPending) {
      handleTokenVerification(token);
    }
  }, [token, session]);
this is my config. the console.log shows that I get the data, but when i try to getSession or refetch.session, it always return null. Im using bun as runner

I usually find that doing a hard reload triggers the session. Sometimes there's a less intense way of refreshing, but that seems to be a fail-safe

I tried that, and checked the network, getSession kept returning null I integrate better-auth with Hono

Don't use getSession, the hard refresh will reload the session hook for you

same issue. I wonder if its db configuration issue. because const { error, data } = await verifyToken(token); return the session, but it somehow not set the current session
